Soccer coach departs
John Rootes, former head coach of the men’s soccer team at SCAD, has been hired to coach at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fl. During his four years at SCAD, Rootes developed a 47-26-2 (.627) record and led the college to the NAIA Region XIV Tournament title in three consecutive seasons. In a statement issued by Lynn University Rootes said, “It’s tough anytime you leave a program you’ve invested yourself in, but there are many great players remaining and I’ve definitely left that program in better shape than when I arrived. I just have to thank everyone for supporting the men’s soccer program while I was there.”
